as a sorta small business owner in an "up-and-coming neighborhood", i end up confronting urban planning to a significant degree.

I think it has a lot to do with being overly self-conscious about space. I don't need cheese for my existential mousetraps.

I hate the bright ones. There's one on Colonial that probably causes wrecks.

Its flashing always makes me think there's an ambulance behind me after I pass it. Then I remember, Oh, just the electric sign.
^^ there's one as you go over the Bay Bridge from SF to Oakland that is bright enough that you don't need to have your headlights on to see. It exudes this blue glow for miles, it seems.

There's another bright horrible sign on 880 North, around Hayward I think. It's pretty ridiculous.

i think a lot of what bugs me about the verbification of nouns is the corporate context of "productivity" - everything has to be turned into an "action" word. And it ties in with a sort of action-for-action's-sake type of mentality, where sometimes deliberation is the best course of, er, action.
oh, that bright sign is on 880 right as you hit San Leandro.

the only positive thing i have to say about that excrutiatingly bright sign, is once i was driving home from my parents' house and it was pouring rain and i could barely see with the wipers and defroster at full blast, and that sign enabled me to see the cars around me.

The anti-plaid thing is so tired. People have been wearing plaid for ages.
Then again I guess when the 90s revival fully hits there can be an anti-plaid revival also.

In most of the places I grew up, plaid if a timeless look so its really hard to see the "fad" aspect of it.
